After Saving the Villainous Snake, I Faked My Death and Escaped

Thanks to all the readers who support the official release. You’re all little angels to me!

My next book is The Junior Sister of the Hehuan Sect Only Wants to Cultivate

Sang Ning, a D-list actress, transmigrated into a book.

Bad news: She became the vicious junior sister who bullied the villain, and in the end he turned her into a human pig, stuck her in a vase, and watered her every day.

Good news: She arrived early. The villain was still a pitiful beauty with a tragic past, so Sang Ning thought she could still save him.

She treated his wounds and fed him medicine, determined to show him that there was true kindness and love in this world. But her senior brother was just too weak and easy to bully.

When his fellow disciples bullied him, he covered his mouth and coughed up a huge mouthful of blood. "Don't blame them. It's all my fault."

During a thunderstorm, he hugged a quilt and tremulously knocked on her door. "Junior Sister, I'm so scared."

Spoil him, spoil him, spoil him! So what if he can't take care of himself? That face had already stolen her heart!

Then one day, Sang Ning followed him and saw his black snake tail curl lightly around a captive, whose limbs were all broken. The young man looked indifferent, but his eyes held a madness she'd never seen before.

Sang Ning hid under her quilt, trembling with fear. She was so frightened she burned with a fever for three days and nights. In her dream, a pair of icy hands brushed her cheek. She opened her eyes and unexpectedly met a pair of pitch-black eyes.

"Why are you sweating so much? Did you have a nightmare, Junior Sister?"

Sang Ning silently burrowed under the quilt. She'd never met a lunatic like this :)

Xie Qingshu had the blood of a half-demon and suffered endless humiliation and torment. Reborn, he wanted only to avenge himself with his own hands.

The water dungeon was dark and sunless. The young man was tightly bound by heavy chains, an eerie golden light flickering deep in his pupils.

He waited for ages, but his enemy never came. Just then, a shaft of sunlight filtered through the skylight. Xie Qingshu looked up and saw the junior sister who spent every day babbling nonsense, limping toward him against the light to save him.

She said, "Senior Brother, you're the best person in the world."

He thought, if he could earn her affection, he wouldn't mind keeping up the act for the rest of his life.

Until one day, the wind swept up the girl's long hair. His junior sister jumped into the abyss without looking back. He ran toward her in anguish, but couldn't catch the last wisp of her soul.

After faking her death and returning home, Sang Ning threw her head back and laughed. The trip had been worth it, and she'd greatly honed her acting skills. Then she received word that the world had collapsed and she had to go back and save it.

The cultivation world before her was drenched in blood, and its people were suffering. Sang Ning turned to leave. "Run! We must have transmigrated into the wrong book."

[The new Demon Lord's surname is Xie.]

The girl stopped in her tracks. "Which Xie?"

[I'm really going to thank you.]

Sang Ning: ?

[Bonus Scene]

Inside the Demon Lord's palace.

A snake tail slapped against the floor with a pleased thump. The young man wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye. "Didn't you say you wanted to be my sheath?"

The girl bit her lip and turned away, huffing.

Xie Qingshu's eyes gradually reddened. He bowed his head to her neck, his voice pitiful and innocent. "Junior Sister, don't leave me."

The girl immediately softened. "I never said I would."

Xie Qingshu's lips curled into a thoroughly mean smile. "Then you do want me."

"..." :)

Only later did she realize that some people were born bad to the bone.

Sweet girl vs. madman

Drama queen vs. master actor

Upcoming Book

As a junior disciple of the Hehuan Sect, You You has to go down the mountain and find a Dao Lord to cultivate dual cultivation with if she wants to pass the sect competition. After a long search, she finally sets her sights on a stern sword cultivator. She disguises herself as a helpless, delicate girl, and he takes her back to his sect.

He wears white, aloof and otherworldly. Though exceedingly handsome, his brows are perpetually furrowed as if covered in frost and snow. No matter how hard You You tries to win him over, he remains unmoved.

You You is about to give up when she unexpectedly dreams about him.

In the dream, she can't resist teasing the cold and aloof master from the daytime. When she wakes, she finds her cultivation on the verge of a breakthrough. A little hand-holding gives her a small boost; a kiss gives her a big one.

Could a dream really grant her cultivation? What a deal! You You goes all in and lures him into bed.

The dreams continue for some time, and then she discovers two astonishing things.

One: Her master's cultivation has suddenly plummeted.

Two: Her master's gaze toward her has become rather strange.

Thinking her identity has been exposed, You You flees the sword sect in the middle of the night. Having acquired a taste for dual cultivation, she soon sets her sights on someone else. But just as she's taken off half her clothes, a flash of sword light startles her into losing her composure. A graceful, ethereal figure descends from the sky.

The newcomer is dressed in white, as immaculate as an autumn moon reflected in a celestial palace. With his cold sword, he lifts her thin cloak and drapes it over her, then gives her a frosty look. "Shameless."

Why would a disciple of the Hehuan Sect need any shame? :)

Her neatly arranged clothes fall open again. Slender fingers hook into his belt. You You's eyes turn faintly red, her expression alluring and affectionate. "Why don't you help me, Master?"

He frowns at her words and immediately sweeps away.

He won't get close to her, but he won't let anyone else near her, either.

"..." What is his problem? :)

One day, You You goes down the mountain to buy wine and finds an unknown cultivator at death's door. He's dressed in white and strikingly beautiful, with brows that look remarkably like her master's. You You pours her heart and soul into saving him, then forces him to marry her.

He falls silent for a while, then agrees.

After their marriage, You You is afraid her master will cause trouble. She has the desire but not the nerve, and treats her husband with polite respect. Unable to enjoy any intimacy, she sighs all day long. The next day, she finds a little immortal-sect newspaper at her door:

[The top sword cultivator of the Heartless Dao has entered seclusion for five hundred years.]

You You hurries home and wastes no time luring him into bed.

The next morning, You You slowly opens her eyes in the arms of her usually cold and taciturn husband. Her voice is utterly languid. "He's been in seclusion for so long. Could he have died in there?"

Unknown cultivator: "..."

*

Jiang Zhan was born cold and unfeeling, with an unwavering Dao heart. Just one step away from ascending, he had an absurd dream.

First, his little disciple held his hand.

Then, his little disciple kissed him.

Finally, his little disciple pulled him beneath the bed curtains.

From then on, inner demons plagued him. Whenever his little disciple looked at him with innocent eyes, he remembered how those eyes had glistened with tears as she begged him for mercy in his dream.

So the closer he grew to her at night, the more distant he became during the day.

Until one day, he suddenly realized two things.

One: His little disciple shared his dreams.

Two: His little disciple didn't want him anymore.

Gorgeous, flirtatious temptress (without a care in the world) and cold, chaste immortal (a fake gentleman, secretly smoldering)

Reading Guide:

1. Both leads' first love, one-on-one romance, HE.

2. The male lead is a lofty, untouchable beauty who willingly descends from his pedestal.

3. The female lead is a total heartthrob.

Meaning: When the long night falls silent, you are the only light in the darkness.
